New rider, old Fazer
« on: 06 May 2017, 09:31:00 pm »
Hi all. Recently passed my test at the ripe old age of 48 and picking up a 98 600 in black next weekend.

39,000 on the clock. Could do with some cosmetic tlc but mechanically very sound.

Looking forward to clocking up some miles 👍🏻

Now to join the great headlight upgrade discussion !

Picked her up yesterday ...

29,000 miles

Fairing has seen better days (screen  taken off for a good clean).

Some cosmetic work required but mechanically sound.

Less damaged fairing on the way, which I might vinyl wrap.

Luggage is a Jofama large bag. 52 litres - I sourced it as a bargain from the Bay of E, but they're still good value at about £89 new, imho.

Anyway, hopefully the pics will post below :
